Article directories are a great way to get a business recognized. A business owner who seems informed about their business and their customers will get a boost in sales. People like to buy from someone who knows what they are doing. Writing articles lets customers know the business owner is doing more than selling a product, they are selling a product they understand and believe in. I think the most easy way to get free traffic on your website is to submit your own written articles on different websites. Visitors daily read new articles and are happy to visit author's website. I do the same and i am getting much better traffic than any other promotional method.
Agreed. For me article submission is primarily about link building rather than traffic but lately I have been seeing good traffic as well. The key is the sheer number of sites that you can send an article to. If 200 sites publish your article and each site gives 10 visitors per month then thats 2000 extra visitors per month to your site.
I also agree. Articles are a good way to get your sites noticed on the web more. The more articles you write the more exposure you site will receive.

The big advantage of submitting articles is that you build credibility and that's crucial in order to turn your visitors into customers. However, submitting an article every now and then to 5 or 10 directories won't generate a lot of traffic - it's important to submit to several hundred directories at least once a week. This sounds a lot, but isn't too tough when you use article submission software or services. Robert
ArticleBazar.com is a well designed and SE optimized article directory, I'd appreciate if you could submit your articles to my directory. Welcome all submitters!
You did not got the point zdensity. Within articles, you can add relative back links. If users did not visit to you through them, search engines will.
^^ so what you are saying is this - you write an article that contains keywords related to your site. search engine spiders go through the pages with your article and link and consider these as backlinks. backlinks increase the probability of getting listed in search engines so the main purpose of writing articles is to get listed in search engines ?
No. The main purpose is to increase traffic and credibility. Articles that only land in article directories will only increase link popularity, and possibly may refer a tiny bit of traffic. But it's when PUBLISHERS, bloggers and webmasters pick up your submissions and use them in their ezines, their sites and even their magazines that you REALLY get some exposure! That's why it's so important to actually write quality articles that would have the potential to get picked up. The only real results I've had with articles is when another publisher picks them up and puts them into their content mix. That's the point of writing and submitting articles. And in many cases, you're almost better off working with the publisher(s) individually. And yes, if your article is both good AND exposed to your target market, your sales will explode, because you're literally "borrowing" that site's reputation and building your own with it. -Chris Rempel
